Krishnamurti urges psychic restructuring
By KAREN GUSTAFSON
"Physical revolution has not produced any different kind of society. The crisis is in the consciousness--in the whole structure of man.” said Indian philosopher Krishnamurti yesterday during his talk in Bovard Auditorium.
“It is his responsibility. We are the world. To bring about a radical change, a psychological revolution is far more important than the mere physical destruction for an ideal.”
Krishnamurti believes inner conflict is the basis for the world's problems.
“Whether a man can totally transform himself: that is a major question, and I think it is the only question. There is a great deal of division in ourselves. We are fragmented human beings.
“I am concerned with the total change of myself. I am the world. I am you.
I am your bank account, sorrows, joys and jealousies.”
He does not consider change through analysis to be change at all. Analysis merely postpones action, according to Krishnamurti. If the original analysis is not perfect then nothing which the individual does can be pure.
“Life demands action,” he said. Action is accomplished when one can observe himself without any divisions, images or opinions involved.
Krishnamurti, who is known for his theories about the inner self, said that an identity or title has very little to do with the real substance of a person. Man is a product of knowledge, experience and the beliefs of his society. “My self is the result of human endeavor,” he said.
“To live a life which is utterly free of bounds is only when the mind is completely at peace with a creative activity. Observe the causes of confusion and disorder. If I can observe them, out of this understanding comes order.”
Krishnamurti will continue his discussion at noon on Monday in Bovard. His speech was sponsored by the Great Issues Forum and ASSC.
CHARIMAN RESIGNED
College woes told

The confusion over the status of this spring s Experimental College heightened yesterday when the program's chairman, Sanford Millar, announced that he had resigned four weeks ago.
Chuck Jones, ASSC vice-president of academic affairs, said yesterday that he had not been informed of Millar’s resignation and that he has no present plans to appoint a new chairman.
The troubled noncredit college has been under attack by Fil Cayetan. an Experimental College professor, who charged that disorganization and student apathy had forced him to cancel his planned course on ancient Greece.
This semester's Experimental College was scheduled to center around an ecology format, but only one of the listed spring classes dealt with the planned topic.
Millar said the failure of the college to relate to its scheduled theme was part of his reason for resigning his post. Other reasons mentioned by Millar
Bomb-scare calls interrupt midterms
By RICHARD SIMON
Campus security attributes the sudden rash in bomb threats to midterm examinations, and officials expect them to continue through next week.
“Each bomb threat has been phoned in during an exam,” said a security officer. “If I were a student here, I would be pretty annoyed at these guys calling in to prolong their tests.”
In the past week. Founders Hall, Von KleinSmid Center, the Physical Education Building, the Administration Building and Hoffman Hall have had
bomb scares. On Tuesday three buildings, Founder Hall, VKC and the Administration Building, had threats at the same time.
“A language class was having a midterm when I interrupted them for the bomb scare,” said one campus policeman. “They went into Founders Hall
and a few minutes later, I had to stop them again. While walking over to the Administration Building, I had to stop them. The class eventually ended up taking the test in Alumni Park.”
Criminal Conspiracy, a division of the downtown Los Angeles Police Department, investigates bomb threats. They were instruments earlier this year in apprehending Glenn Byrd, a freshman placed on disciplinary probation
for allegedly making a false bomb threat Nov. 4. Byrd’s case is still pending in juvenile court.
The LAPD has a sophisticated electronic system installed by Pacific Telephone to detect campus calls.
The latest bomb scare yesterday cleared out the Graduate School of Business Administration (Hoffman Hall) delaying several midterm exams.
included lack of interest by the student body in the college courses and his own inability to perform what he termed “the legitimate functions I had to.”
“I didn’t get a single student application,” Millar said. “I got really pissed off, and I wasn’t about to spend any more student body funds.”
Millar said he worked alone in setting up the college’s spring schedule. “I was the committee,” he said. He received a very poor student response, which he blamed on USC apathy.
He also said he wondered why the controversy over the Experimental College’s failure has suddenly come to the student body's attention.
“Why now?” he asked. "Why not three weeks ago? I suspect there’s a slight political motivation.”
Jones, when asked if he knew Millar had resigned, said, “I guess I do now.” He explained that Millar’s duties had for the most part been completed four weeks ago, and that, there is no real need to appoint another spring Experimental College chairman at this time.
Speaking of Millar’s work on the college, Jones said, “Under the circumstances, he did a commendable job.”
The circumstance Jones was referring to, he explained, was the lack of participation on the part of other students. “No one was willing to work with him,” Jones said.
He explained that Millar got only five offers from people wanting to instruct new courses, and only one of those applied to teach a subject connected to the stated ecological theme. This left Millar with 11 holdover courses from fall semester and only five new courses.
Millar recruited a committee, recruited new classes, scrounged for students to register for the courses, scheduled rooms, printed brochures and registered
interested students. His primary problem, Jones said, was that he neglected
to have a sign-up table in front of Tommy Trojan in the weeks preceding the opening of the college.
"This spring’s Experimental College has just petered out,” Jones said. “But all these people are bitching and looking

Solution seen to drama problem
By PETER WONG
A permanent solution to the rehearsal space problems of drama students, as well as those of cinema and music, will come only with the completion of the performing arts complex, a university official said yesterday.
“To my knowledge the space requirements for drama are no more satisfactory or unsatisfactory than they were last year or two or three years ago,” Anthony Lazzaro, associate vice-presi-dent for business affairs, said in reference to the recent demands of drama students for more rehearsal space.
“The requirements have not been adequately met for years. That is whv the Performing Arts Center was included in the Master Plan.”
A temporary solution for the space problems of drama students was worked out Tuesday after a two-week campaign in support of the requests. The students will be allowed to use a second-floor lounge in the old Law School Building until the end of the semester.
“It would be erroneous to conclude that the Performing Arts Center never had anything but the highest priority," Lazzaro said in response to a statement in the March 9 Daily Trojan that the construction of new tennis courts
would take precedence over the new drama facility.
“Realistically, Master Plan objectives are realized on the basis of actual finding being available. The Performing Arts Center never quite got off the ground in terms of being a successful fund-raising project.”
But the center has suddenly moved up in priority, Lazzaro pointed out. “In the last year, under Grant Beglarian (dean of the School of Performing Arts), we now have reason to be far more optimistic.”
Beglarian said the complex wo lid be constructed in three phases. The first phase, which would cost an estimated $5 million, would include basic facilities for cinema, drama and music. In addition, a main theater, administrative offices and a temporary library would be built.
The second phase would include the construction of a permanent library and additional facilities for instruction, and the third phase would conclude with more space for interdepartmental programs, special projects and community service activities.
Beglarian estimated that the cost of the entire complex could be $10 million, but he said that no specific amount
has yet been approved by the Board of Trustees, which must determine costs and approve the final plan.
Enrollment for the School of Perform-Arts would be set at 1,000 to 1,200 in the new buildings, Beglarian said. Some 350 students would be included in cinema. 200 to 250 students in drama, and 600 in music.
“Not only would the proposed complex provide room for our students, it would place the administrative center in one area, thereby centralizing three divisions now spread all over the campus,” the dean said.
Public facilities will include a 500-seat main theater, a 200-seat theater to replace Stop Gap and music rooms for student recitals.
“These additional facilities will take some of the load off Hancock Auditorium and other campus buildings,” Beglarian said.
The complex will be built at the present site of Bovard Field, and the architects (William L. Pereira and Associates) will finish their drawings in a month. Then the Board of Trustees will review the plans.
“We anticipate no serious problems in getting the complex approved,” Beglarian commented.
“As is often the case, people are hurting the most just before a new building is started,” Lazzaro said of the drama students’ need for space. “Faculty and students start developing expanded programs for the new programs—but they still have to work in the old facilities.”
Lazzaro said he hoped that the drama students can get along without exclusive space; that is. space available from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The drama department had first asked for 3,500 square feet for its exclusive use, but it accepted the 1,400 square feet offered by the administration.
At a meeting last Friday on the space problem of the drama students, a circular that was handed out there claimed in addition to the old Law School Building, Olin Hall Library and Currie's (a former restaurant now owned by the Community Redevelopment Agency) were available for rehearsal space.
Olin Hall Library is in use, and the use of Currie's would meet with no objection from the university but would still have to be cleared by the CRA.
“At long last, it appears the Performing Arts Center may become a reality, assuming a successful fundraising campaign,” Lazzaro concluded.
